Chapter 614 The Last Chance!
After the Predators occupied the Elven capital, they did not repair the damaged city walls. They believed that it would be more useful to build more "kindergartens" and black castles than to rebuild those inanimate structures.
The former can provide a continuous supply of powerful Ironblood warriors, while the latter can prevent elves and natives from surviving in the contaminated zone for long. Over the past twenty years, the elves have suffered greatly at the hands of these powerful monsters in the contaminated zone. If it weren't for the difficulty in building their Black Castle and its inability to keep up with their expansion speed, they might have already reached Silvermoon City.
The city walls, already damaged in the battle twenty years ago, collapsed in large sections under the bombardment of artillery fire. The Predators lost their last remaining bulletproof barrier and could only retreat into the crowded city to put up a final stand.
"Everyone be careful. Remember the urban warfare principles we discussed: riflemen and melee units must coordinate to slowly clear out the advancing enemy..."
The elven instructors of Dayuan loudly imparted their experience to the leaders of various tribes. In less than a month, they had won the high trust of these tribal leaders. They would keep every word of the instructors in mind, because it could potentially bring their people more battle merits and a better chance of survival.
The strong elves, supported by heavy machine guns and snipers, charged forward and occupied the most advantageous high ground and the center of the street. Then, the supporting firepower was repositioned to support the elf warriors, who were skilled in close combat, to slowly advance and clear out the Predators from every building.
The capital city was vast, and the Predators' will to resist grew stronger, with even many underage Predators joining the battle. This severely hampered the elven army's advance, but despite heavy casualties, they did not halt their resolute steps. Now, none of the elves doubted that victory would ultimately be theirs.
"Nelia, stop the attack! I sense movement from the temple!" Just as Nelia was taking down another weakened tribe, Luna, who had been cautiously guarding her side, suddenly signaled Nelia to halt the attack.
Just as Nelia had a chance to give the orders, before the army had even completely ceased its attack, the enormous pillar of light connecting the temple and the vortex in the sky suddenly changed. The already thick and bright pillar of light became even more terrifying, the vortex in the sky began to spin rapidly, and the black hole at the center of the vortex gradually expanded.
Not only did the elven army cease its attack, but even the fiercely resisting Predators turned around in surprise to look at the ever-changing pillars of light and black holes above the temple.
"...Wasn't it said that those monsters couldn't descend a second time for a while? Does this mean their reinforcements are about to descend again?" Faced with this unexpected situation, Nelia was also unsure and had no choice but to seek help from her Aunt Luna, who had been dealing with the enemy for twenty years.
"I've never seen a temple create such a spectacle. Each time they descend, the evil aura around the temple weakens a bit. I speculate that their descent ritual consumes a lot of evil energy, which is why we conclude they can't descend again for a while... It's all speculation..."
Luna was also very nervous. Most of the elven army had already entered the royal city. If the temple unleashed any powerful attacks, the losses would be extremely heavy.
"Push all the artillery up and establish a defensive line first!" Nelia cautiously made the decision to defend in place.
"Awooo... Awooo... Awooo"
Suddenly, the Predators in the city let out shrill howls and began to run wildly toward the temple. The strong Predators pushed aside everything in their way, including their own sons and wives.
Nelia looked at the chaotic enemy in surprise and asked Luna uncertainly, "What...are they doing?"
“How would I know? Nelia, you can’t ask your aunt about everything. You are now the Elf King of our Silvermoon Clan. Even if Nysius returns, he is still an elder. From now on, the fate of the Silvermoon Clan is in your hands. You have to make your own decisions, understand?”
"Do I have to make all the decisions myself?... I understand, Aunt!" Nelia replied, turning to look at the World Tree so close at hand, and made a decision in her heart.
"Qin Mo, what do you think they're doing? The aura from the temple is rapidly weakening. Could it be that they're going to risk everything to initiate the descent ritual?"
On the World Tree side, Qi Lina was also asking Qin Mo uncertainly. In the process of talking with Qin Mo these past few days, she found that Qin Mo didn't know much about common sense, but had very novel insights into the direction of some events. So she felt that perhaps Qin Mo had some unique perspective on the current situation.
“I think they’re going to run away. If they were going to go to any lengths to carry out the Advent Ritual, these ordinary Predators would be fanatical, not so panicked. They’ve probably been abandoned.”
"They've been fighting us for twenty years, why don't they persevere to the end? These monsters have incredibly strong fighting spirit..."
Qin Mo thought for a moment, then pointed to the stars in the sky and asked Qi Lina, "How many stars do you think there are in the sky?"
“Oh! The elven records say... there are countless stars in the sky, but how would I know the exact number?” Zilina said modestly, a rare occurrence for her.
Grabbing a handful of sand from the ground, he said, "If a grain of dust is a star, then piling up all that dust into a mountain might be equivalent to the number of stars in the universe."
